[quote=Anonymous]While I don't jump to the conclusion that there's infidelity or that the marriage is having problems, I do wonder why couples over the age of 30 or so make big pronouncements of love on FB. I think there's a lot of truth in that men do it because their wives demand it, it makes them happy and more likely to want to have sex, etc.

I don't know-to me if you are married the assumption is that you most likely love your spouse, right? Why the need to proclaim it on social media? To brag? Because on some level they feel insecure? I really wonder if people are honest with themselves about their motivations. It's not because they think that other people (besides their spouse and maybe their parents) will enjoy reading an "I love you so much, baby!" FB post. Honestly, I think the majority of people who read those "I love you posts" roll their eyes.

And no-I'm not bitter or jealous-just thoughtful. I'm happily married but have never felt the need to say "I love you" to my husband on FB. What would be the purpose? To make single people or people who are struggling in their relationships feel bad? As a child, I was taught that bragging is inappropriate. I know I sound like an old person, but it disturbs me how braggy and self promoting our culture has become.
